(a) The Mayor is hereby authorized to contract for or otherwise charge and collect the following rates hereby established as sewer rental charges from and after January 1, 2013, to be paid to the City for the use of the system of sewerage or sewage treatment or disposal works by every person, firm, or corporation whose premises lies outside the limits of the City which are served by a connection with the system of sewerage in the City, hereinafter referred to as “Outside Users,” which charge shall be as provided in Tables B, C and D attached to Ordinance 157-2012 for the identified Outside User Communities.
(b) In addition, the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to contract for or otherwise charge and collect from said outside users for disposal of sewage, all administration charges as determined by the Mayor, specifically attributable for meter reading, billing, maintenance, and transportation to any particular outside user or the maintenance of the account therefor. All monies received pursuant to this section shall be deposited, applied, and utilized the same as specified in Section 922.02.
(c) Provided further, however, that from and after January 1, 2013, the terms of contracts heretofore specifically authorized by Council shall be given full force and effect except to the extent that the rates charged therein were inadequate and modified by ordinance to meet the rise of costs for necessary operation, maintenance, replacement, capital improvements, and operating capital respecting the sewage treatment or disposal works. The Mayor is hereby empowered to establish charges reflecting credits for lump sum account payments made pursuant to rate dispute settlements, if any, under such contracts and charges equivalent to incremental charges stated on a basis of water consumption in terms of sewage metered on the basis of 1,000 gallon units or otherwise in accordance with past billing procedures or where otherwise determined necessary.
(d) Such contracts with outside users shall limit the quality and quantity of the sewage flow to be accepted to that of ordinary household waste in such daily volumes as shall not exceed in the aggregate, including sewage flow from Euclid users, the capacity of the waste water treatment facilities or the capacity of sewer lines within the City as determined by the Director. The Director shall give deference and preference to the communities having long standing and continuing arrangements and contracts with the City and the volumes historically received therefrom.
(e) No industrial waste shall be accepted from any outside community except pursuant to individual industrial user permits to be applied for by the actual industrial user and issued directly by the City pursuant to Chapter 923 of the Codified Ordinances.
(f) Satellite Sewer Discharge Control Program (“SSDCP”). The Mayor is hereby authorized to contract and amend contracts with outside user communities as necessary to implement the SSDCP mandated by the City's NPDES Permit issued effective April 1, 1996, requiring monitoring, reporting, and operation under the supervision of a State Certified Operator's License for each outside user community collection system and authority to require that the maintenance crews of each outside user community will either include supervision by a properly licensed staff person to implement the community discharge permit regulations or will submit to supervision for these purposes to properly licensed staff personnel of the City and pay the cost therefor as determined by the Mayor.
